Freels Quintuplets: 3 Week NICU Update

Here is our 3 week update for our babies. Overall everyone seems to be doing amazing and we are thankful!

[@maryoesterborg9397]

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this beautiful story. Looking forward to following along on your journey. Blessings day by day. ❤

[@marieneu264]

19:16 don’t say one is cuter than the other, especially if you want them to be able to watch these one day! Most kids would shrug it off and laugh, but a kid that has mental issues or delays will make this into a big deal and harbor resentment.

[@margm4]

So glad the babies are doing well as can be…precious mites. 🙏❤️🇦🇺

[@Chelbsn]

I found your channel maybe a week ago. Just over 50 years ago I was born at 28 weeks so I love to follow the premie journey. Congratulations on your 5 perfect miracles!! I'm so happy to hear that they are all doing so well! Even tiny progress is huge progress at that age🩷💙 Prayers for you all!

[@allisonhatten-smith8095]

From a former NICU mom, when they come home your schedule will be chaotic. Praying for you all.

[@LifeasaLEOWife]

Man, I was so blessed. Delivered both my children just after 7 months, & even my boy, whose lungs don't develop as fast as girls, got to go home at 3lbs9oz 4 days after delivery. The only reason it was 4 days was I had a C-section. They were worried they would have to send him to another hospital with NICU care (I had a ridiculous Dr who didn't give steroids or listen about my 1st delivery being early), but he was perfect. He didn't cry & they worked on him for about 15 minutes, but I was praying so hard & God came through! He came home with me on day 4. I can't imagine having them stay in the NICU without me. My first was 4lbs & went home after 2 days. Prayers for you guys! Praise God for their health!

Praying for continued healing for Stephany, and the Lord God to hold each one of these precious babies, growing them and overseeing each and every milestone they need to achieve to be able to come home. I pray you will find schedules that will work perfectly when they do come home! Thank you for sharing your lives during this challenging blessing!

[@angelinasaavedra5850]

First CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of your children and that you are both doing well!🎉AND the babies are getting stronger everyday!🎉 I think every single one of your babies are going to be your favorite on any given day! You remind me of my daughter (No children) however she loves music and every time a song plays she says, “ Oh this is my favorite!” Lol! You have already fallen in love with each of your babies so they are all your favorites at any given time or day! God bless you ALL!😊

[@Trishagram]

Just found this yesterday. Watched two videos. I would love to see how the babies grew each week. Enjoy some rest. It will end soon😊I have watched Fuve Two Love since before they were born and now they are five. I am still watching them. Their videos are so good. Hope you will do some when your babies come home.

[@sandrawestley4193]

This is the start of your life, where you will always have your heart in your mouth when they get hurt or are in trouble, you feel every up and down, happy moments and sad moments, for the rest of you life.

[@jenstokes1565]

It would be good to hear how mum is going with recovery, her body has been through so much!

[@WeAreTheFreels]

She is doing amazing!

[@rebeccaoliver7977]

This would be a good way to go a little deeper, if they're interested. Then, and this is different but applicable to each of you speaking to, what are the things going through your minds as a woman/mother, man/father as you think ahead to the task of raising your five children. This could even be two separate videos -- one to focus on each of you. This could be a topic you revisit every few months. In the long run, would give you a quarterly diary of your journey through parenthood. How mom is doing on her recovery - especially, seems like such an important topic now. Again, if you want to go there and share that. Congratulations to you both. Best Wishes.

[@misswinnie4.8]

I enjoyed getting to know you both through this sweet update. Both your voices are actually quite calming, and you work very well together. I wouldn't change anything about your video style. I also saw the video of Momma holding 5 lumps of sugar! What a pretty lady with gorgeous legs!!! Take it slow so your body can heal. Your miracle babies are reminders that God is so good! I recommend listening to lullabies by "Hidden in My Heart." Q-Will you have help when you return to Washington?

[@chelseaputnam4456]

I wouldn’t worry about timing of the video. As a viewer I don’t ever think of when the video will be over with. 💛

[@donaschneider]

It would be nice to see pictures each week so we can watch them change. Also great to have later.

[@clairewilson332]

Thank you so much for sharing bringing back so many memories for me, things I'd totally forgotten having memory issues, things I thought were lost to me forever. Sharing your story has helped me more than you'll ever know. Keep doing what you are doing first time I've felt Gods presence for a very long time. Lost my way years ago had an epithany watching your videos today. It wasn't that there wasn't a God it is the churches I attended were filled with not very good Christians.Being told my son at 18 months had a demon in him that needed exorcising the worst of things that happened close second was been asked a group of old ladies not to come back because he was distracting them from the service, it was family service. He liked hugging our Priests leg during part of the service our Priest just ruffled his hair signaling us to let him stay, we couldn't even ruffle his hair. I allowed them to drive us away. He wasn't possessed he just wasn't neuro typical he was diagnosed Autistic very early at 3 1/2. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. May your lives continue to be blessed,

[@kathybennett7560]

I just subscribed and cried with you on the first episode of the birth! I know there are many ups and downs and my prayers are with all of you! It takes so long for the babies to develop but you guys sound like God is giving you all the strength you need. My husband and I have 4 grown children and 8 grandchildren and so far 4 great grandchildren! God is great! I have watched the Busby family grow with their 6 babies and their TV channel on TLC. They took a couple of years off with the pandemic and just a break from filming as they tried listening to the Lord to see where God was leading them next. They started filming a channel on KZbin. Low and behold they have decided to go back on TV but with exciting new changes for them. If you have worries or questions I am sure you could get in touch with them. They live in Texas. They went through lots of challenges too as you do with multiples. I love all your stories of your little ones. So you live in Washington? I remember seeing them holding a baby on each shoulder once they were home. I would love to hear the story of how you came to end up in Phoenix and where you plan on living when you take the babies home. I guess you might want an amount of privacy too so please, I understand if you don’t want to share certain aspects of your life. Don’t want it to seem to pry, just curious. If you set up a go fund me page, I know there would be many of us that would love to share in your journey. Love and prayers! ❤

it’s funny to me so many people complain he talks a lot. It reminds me of Ethan & Hila Klein. She contributes but Ethan talks more and Hila speaks when she wants to. Nothing wrong with one partner talking more.

[@mtredeker7294]

Oh please don’t have favorites. Each one is and has a unique and special gift from God. God has entrusted you both with these bundles of joy! I know your trying to figure out how to raise these little bundle of joy God has given you! To not be a favorite is hard on any child growing up and can deeply scar that child’s life. Maybe you didn’t mean it as it sounded ! I cannot believe someone asked you which is your favorite? Children are all precious. Each and every human was placed on this earth for a reason to grow up glorifying God. Unfortunately there are people whom never felt or received that love they needed in life and have fallen. But we must remember to keep praying for them also! I cannot imagine raising five babies all at once and I am sure you notice something new with each one. Just remember if one is acting out as they grow older there is a reason. Try to find out what it is. Let them know you are there fore them just as you are for the other four.

Brag on God! I had a preem also and was told not to expect to bring him home until my due date. He was born 10 weeks early and came home at 33 weeks. He weighed 4lb. 13 oz and was 16 inches long. He was fully breathing on his own and didn't even have to wear an apnea breathing monitor. There were times he gained dover 2.5 oz in one day. I was also pumping and they were adding something to my breathing milk to help him gain weight. His name is Elisha we prayed God would give him a double portion of surfactant to help speed up the development of his lungs.

Check the rules of KZbin....I think you have to have an eight minute video to make money.

[@shellygross9864]

Your story is amazing! A suggestion though, if you are planning to continue posting videos you should look at the camera more instead of each other (especially the mom never looks at the camera but rather always looks at the dad) which makes viewers feel you are not talking to us. Kinda like if youve ever been in a group and ppl talk to each other but ignore you.

[@lisacasey2826]

You knew when you chose fertility treatments that it was possible of having multiples. Now you want the world to give you money so eventually you have live in a huge beautiful home, have a huge expensive vehicle and go onice vacations., just like the other KZbin parents of multiples The rest of us paid for our own families. Im only here to see the babies because they are beautiful
